ENL has over 100k 'hearts' on Melon Afaik only that Park Hye Shin song and Some have 100k+ (115-117k to be exact).

Umm, no. TD has 55,000 max capacity for concerts. TVXQ's stadium concerts had 76k attendance both nights. TVXQ held 2 stadium dates in a row last year

Yes. Depending on stage setup, the capacity is about 20k more than the largest domes.

lol right? I haven't enjoyed listening to it since like 3 months after Alive's release.. I hate that it's pretty much BB's signature song now. It doesn't hold a candle to Haru Haru or even Lies.

These pics of A-nation make me wonder why they haven't done a stadium date in Japan yet. They could easily fill it up...

Idts honestly. It would have to be a unit or something and I don't think that's likely.

ITT: People setting themselves up for disappointment and blame YG when it turns out they were wrong.

Holy fuck @ Scott's evolved wolf face! That's the shit I want to see more of. Judging from the 4x11 promo he might wolf out even more when Kate and Peter take him and Kira hostage.

Same. Not even sure where it all came from lol. Edit: rofl so they were name dropped by some journalists as an example of how broad that Jaycee guy's friend circle is and K-media attempt to drag them into the mess as a result? The reaching is real...

Then YG would be giving these hateful netizens exactly what they want. The reason they're so over-the-top anti-Bom and dragging other YG acts into the mess is because YG was smart enough not to keep fueling the flames. The public already moved on weeks ago but knetz (particularly on Nate, of course) think Bom got off easy.

I hope they will. I'm usually not in favor of agencies suing people for comments made online but this is a whole different level. How can they be so hateful against people they don't know? It's messed up.

Seriously judging the death penalty commenters

I have this as well so I totally understand him lol. I also think the fact he used to be fat has a lot to do with not wanting to show skin. Being fat changes a person permanently. They become very self-conscious and it often stays that way even after losing the excess fat. sup

Does anyone have the complete Rise album instrumentals (preferably HQ)? I can't find them anywhere besides ENL and RL

iirc YG did mediaplay about CDE receiving 300k pre-orders from stores.. That's where my prediction from it selling 300k by year-end came from. GD/BB have a history of outselling initial retail pre-orders. I actually forgot about this completely. It's the main reason that led me to believing something fishy was going on, then YG released the article saying overseas #s weren't counted etc...

No I mean Winner's album sales will probably be normal and not lack "overseas" sales like all the albums since LTAL

I think your theory is likely. And I also think that by selling it themselves on YGEshop (and possibly some other places), they get a much bigger cut of the sale too. I suspect YG isn't taking this approach for Winner cause atm he's investing in them long term so he values facts to media play about more than profit. Read my reply to mol's post. I don't think it's gonna affect Winner.

I think this theory is true. If you take out overseas sales then the CDE/Rise sales kinda make sense. Their K-fanbase has shrunk after the 1st hiatus but their strength lies in the fanbase they gained overseas since then. The numbers reflects that exactly. If they counted overseas #s, then CDE would be close to 300k and Rise near/over 100k. They must have changed something in the album distribution process for sure. Maybe it has something to do with switching distributors? It used to be different but now it's KT Music.

I wonder if they actually believe themselves when they say the album will be out this year or "soon"? I'd rather they just shut up until it's around the corner. Hate this. Actually the more I think about it, the more a release during the dome tour makes sense. It's a typical YG move. Finally an album but barely any promo. Just pre-recorded tv show and music show appearances.

Oh I assumed the number posted earlier were up-to-date. Those numbers are pretty good.

Are Winner fans waiting for next week or something? I expected higher sales than this tbh..

No he did not. In an article written by a journalist, shared on YG-Life (I can't believe I even have to explain this), the assumption was made by the journalist that the gg's debut is right around the corner since YG mentioned about 7 months ago that 4 groups would debut in 2014. Even then people knew he was full of shit, but now it should be even more obvious. Honestly, some of y'all need to stop letting your hopes get in the way of your rational thinking. The chances of them debuting this year are very small. Winner just debuted and it's mid August. What makes you think this group's debut is right around the corner?

I said the exact same thing last year but they went ahead and did it anyway.... Pretty sure it will happen again. I explained this before, but there is no way they can make a comeback before the tour and I sure hope (and think) a comeback DURING the tour isn't even a remote possibility. The facts: 1) They will always do Korean solo concerts around the release of a new album. These are always announced ~3 months (or more) in advance. Nothing has been announced yet. 2) GD recently spilled some details on the album which indicates the recording process is far from done 3) They need to rehearse for the comeback at least 4 weeks in advance (concert & new song choreo) 4) They need to rehearse like 2 weeks ahead of the dome tour too 5) Whenever a new album releases, they WILL release a Japanese version 3-4 weeks later and promote it too, requiring an additional 2-3 weeks. 6) Taeyang has his solo tour lasting into early September Even if you ignore for a minute that recording isn't done, no concerts are in the pipeline and YB is doing his concerts, then it would still be hella tight and that's assuming they start the final preparations tomorrow. No way it happens.

Yep, another dome tour starting mid November.

I'm counting on it. GD's been working on it since March... We need some concrete info.
